<span>Recordings are made with sensors recording particle motion at or near the surface of the ocean. Since the speed of sound in sea water is known, the travel time for sound reflections can be determined from the simple equation v = 2d/t where d is the distance down and back up, and t is the difference in time from the source time to the time a reflection is record. This can be rearranged to d = v*t/2.</span>

pantera1 [17]

All tropical cyclones form over the ocean.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

To form a cyclone, warm, moist air rises above the ocean and as it rises, it creates an area of lower air pressure and air of high pressure area is also shifted to areas of low pressure area which when rises form clouds. This whole system of cloud and wind spins together fed by ocean's heat and as it spins faster and faster it results in a cyclone forming an eye in the center.
